Task Force Nova Takes on Ruladak

Sunstroke, Miss Kitca, a theory, ElectroHawk, Greyhame, Palatial Guard and Dark Friar banded together as Task Force Nova to stop Ruladak the Strong of the Shadow Shard.

When Sara Moore asked for their help to find out who had been kidnapping natives, Task Force Nova couldn't have known that it would lead you to uncover...The Legend of Ruladak

The Heroes fought the Nemesis Army troops around the Cascade Archipelago, and found that they were under order to do just that.

They then rescued several natives who had been captured by the Nemesis Army, who were interrogating them to find out about a native legend about a monster called 'Ruladak'.

Nova liberated more captives from the Nemesis Army who were also being interrogated about the myths of Ruladak, including a man called 'Old Fred' who seemed to know more than he was telling. On their return, Sara Moore told them the myth of Ruladak, about a monster that tried to force natives to worship the Rularuu after 'the madness broke the world', but was imprisoned by kindness.

The task force next struck a Nemesis Army base, and recovered a letter to a 'General Fort' of the Nemesis army, talking about plans to awaken some sleeping power and ally with the Rularuu.

Next they learned that Old Fred, one of the oldest and wisest of the people in the Shadow Shard, had been kidnapped by the Circle of Thorns when he was looking for a book written by his father about Ruladak. They rescued him, and he told them that Ruladak was real! The Circle, however, had already taken the book back to Oranbega.

The heroes returned to Paragon City and recovered the book from Oranbega. It detailed a great deal of information about how Ruladak the Strong had been bound by the 'Kind One'.

While the book was off being analyzed, the heroes went off looking for another group of natives who had been kidnapped. They found that they had actually been taken by the Rularuu, who were interrogating the natives for what they knew of the Nemesis Army.

The worst came to pass when Task Force Nova attacked a Nemesis base and found that a Nemesis Army leader named General Fort had signed a treaty with the Rularuu to free Ruladak and ally with the creature in an attempt to sieze control of the Nemesis Army.

They then began the battle to stop the Nemesis Army from awakening Ruladak the Strong. The Nemesis Army had already gotten to the first of the 4 seals that held Ruladak imprisoned.

The group secured the second seal, which could be used by trained mystics to weaken Ruladak should he awaken. They were also able to secure the third seal, which kept Ruladak from fully re-connecting with the Rularuu.

They then went after the last seal, only to find it missing.

The heroes then battled the Nemesis Army to find the location of the 4th seal.

They recovered the seal and defeated General Fort, only to learn that Fort had been used and that Ruladak the Strong was already about to awaken.

Task Force Nova entered deep into his lair and battled Ruladak the Strong. Sara Moore could hardly contain herself, as she had just seen mythic heroes write the end chapter of the Legend of Ruladak.
